Installation Manual Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Brief Introduction Quidway AR 28 Series Routers were independently developed by Huawei Technologies for use on enterprise-level networks. Depending on the network size, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can be either core routers on small and medium enterprise networks, or access routers for network branches on some large-sized enterprise networks. Therefore, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers are suitable for the application on the carrier-level networks, such as telecom management networks and billing networks. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers adopt modular design and provide a wide range of optional MIMs (Multifunctional Interface Modules) and SICs (Smart Interface Cards). Among all models of the series, the AR 28-10, the AR 28-11, the AR 28-12, the AR 28-13, and the AR 28-14 are available with two types of units: AC-powered and DC-powered. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers adopt high speed PowerPC microprocessor and the VRP (Versatile Routing Platform), a network operation system platform developed by Huawei Technologies. Besides the benefit of simple configuration, VRP provides rich network security features, and supports dumb terminal access, SNA (Systems Network Architecture)/DLSw (Data-Link Switching), IP multicast, and abundant QoS (Quality of Service) features. Thereby, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can operate together with other Quidway series routers and Ethernet switches to provide overall end-to-end network solutions for clients in industries such as telecommunication, ISP, finance, taxation, public security, and transportation, medium-and-large-sized enterprises. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers deliver features of xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line), MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switch), NTP (Network Time Protocol). Networked with the NE Series High-End Routers, the AR 28 series can provide comprehensive solutions for carriers and large industrial users. Currently, the AR 28 series include these models: z AR 28-09 z AR 28-10/28-11/28-12/28-13/28-14 z AR 28-30/28-31 z AR 28-40 z AR 28-80 Quidway AR 28 Series Routers deliver the following features: Huawei Technologies Proprietary 1-1 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Overview I. High-performance processor Quidway AR 28 Series Routers use high-performance processors to process all the integrated interface data. All performance indicators, such as packet processing capacity, maximum traffic on interfaces, delay, frame drop rate, restoration period due to overloading of the system and system reset period, can meet users’ requirements. II. Multiple interface card/interface module options Quidway AR 28 Series provides SIC slots and MIM slot, where you can install various types of SICs and MIMs. The available interfaces include synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, asynchronous serial interface, T1/CT1/PRI interface, E1/CE1/PRI interface, BRI S/T and U interfaces, Ethernet interface (including FE/GE, electrical interface and fiber interface), ADSL/G.SHDSL interface, ATM 25M/155M interface, E3/T3 interface, and so on. The user can change or extend SICs or MIMs as needed. Thereby, the investment that has been made can be protected to the maximum degree. III. Multiple channels of asynchronous serial interface access z Connected to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) via the asynchronous serial interface, the router can work as a small Internet access server. z With an analog Modem interface card, the router can be directly connected to PSTN to serve as a small access server. IV. Ethernet access solution By extending SICs and MIMs, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can provide multiple forms of Ethernet interfaces, such as optical/electrical interface, 10/100/1000Mbps interface. Thereby, the networking capability of the router can be significantly improved. V. Voice capabilities Quidway AR 28 Series Routers are available with a wide range of voice interface modules, which can provide such interfaces as FXO/FXS/E&M, E1VI, and T1VI. The FXS/FXO/E&M interface can connect common phone sets, fax machines and private branch exchanges (PBXs); the CE1/PRI or CT1/PRI interface can connect the E1 or T1 interface of switches, as well as communicating with the gatekeeper (GK). With high-speed CPU and digital signal processing (DSP) technology, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can provide voice over IP (VoIP) and voice over frame relay (VoFR) with high quality voice. They can drive down the cost of long distance communications between main office and branches in enterprise deployment. VI. xDSL/MPLS features xDSL is a simple but highly-efficient broadband technology that achieves large data transmission capacity over existing copper wiring by using the digital code modulation technology. The ADSL/ADSL-I/G.SHDSL module for AR 28 Series allows the Huawei Technologies Proprietary 1-2 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Overview medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Internet over DSLAM equipment via PSTN. MPLS, a combination of IP and ATM technologies, replaces the traffic identified by IP header with a short and length-fixed label, based on which a router makes the forwarding decision. It can provide faster forwarding speed, get support from IP routed protocols, and control protocols, thus satisfying the requirements that various new applications put on the network. MPLS VPN is a VPN technology that implements the interconnection of private networks via Label Switched Paths (LSPs). As LSP is a tunnel across the public network on its own, MPLS has an inherent advantage in terms of VPN implementation. AR 28 Series Routers usually act as Label Edge Routers (LERs) to implement service classification, label distribution, encapsulation, and multi-label peel-off by connecting an MPLS domain to a non-MPLS domain or connecting MPLS domains of different service providers. VII. Data security z Supports ID authentication protocols, including PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial in User Service), TACACS+. z Implements firewall to prevent invasions from external networks. z Supports VPN (Virtual Private Network, including GRE, L2TP) and provides IPSec (IP Security) and IKE (Internet Key Exchange) technologies. Hence, the security of the user private network in the Internet environment can be guaranteed. z Provides backup solutions based on the backup center technology. VIII. Online software upgrade 512 KB Boot ROM and 32 MB Flash memory provide the user with adequate physical carrier to upgrade the software online, add new features, and extend new functions according to market demands. IX. Chassis Quidway AR 28 Series Routers adopt integrated structure design. They perform excellently on heat dissipation, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and safety. 1.2 Slots The following table shows the numbers of interfaces and slots on Quidway AR 28 Series Routers: Huawei Technologies Proprietary 1-3 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Overview Table 1-1 Interfaces and slots on AR 28 Series Routers AR 28-09 AR 28-10 AR 28-11/ 13/14 AR 28-12 AR 28-30 AR 28-31 AR 28-40 AR 28-80 AUX port 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Conso le port 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Fixed WAN port 1 1 1 2 –– –– –– –– Fixed LAN port 1 1 2 2 1 2 –– –– Exten ded SIC 2 2 2 2 –– –– –– –– Exten ded MIM 1 1 1 1 3 3 4 8 Item Note: The fixed synchronous/asynchronous interface of the AR 28-10/28-11 matches a DB-50 connector, and AR 28-12 match DB-28 connector.

To ensure the normal operation and prolong their service life, the following requirements for installation site must be met. 3.1.1 Requirements on Temperature/Humidity Certain requirements on temperature and humidity in the equipment room shall be met. If the relative humidity is too high, the insulation materials in it will deteriorate easily or even lead to electric leakage. Sometimes this will result in change to the mechanical performance of the materials and rusting of the metal components. If the relative humidity is too low, the fastening screw will become loosen due to shrinkage of the isolation spacer. In an environment with dry climate, static electricity may be produced, putting the CMOS of the router to risk. High temperature is of the greatest risk: for it will significantly degrade the router’s reliability, speed up aging process of the insulating materials, and shorten the service life of the router. The requirements on the temperature and humidity for AR 28 Series are shown in Table 3-1: Table 3-1 Humidity requirements in the equipment room Temperature Relative humidity 5% to 90%, non-condensing 0°C to 40°C 3.1.2 Requirements on Cleanness Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the Router. Dust on the chassis may result in static absorption, thus causing poor contact of the metal connection components or points. Especially under the condition of low indoor humidity, dust is easier to be absorbed, which not only shortens the operational lifetime of the equipment, but also results in communication failure. There should not be explosive, conductive, magnetic and corrosive dust in the equipment room where Quidway AR 28 Series Routers are located, and the dust concentration should meet the following requirements: Huawei Technologies Proprietary 3-1 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 3 Installation Preparation Table 3-2 Limitation on dust content in equipment room Diameter (μm) 0.5 Concentration (particle/m³) 1.4 × 10 1 7 7 × 10 3 5 5 2.4 × 10 5 1.3 × 10 5 Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the Router should also meet the rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and aging process of some parts. The specific limits of these harmful gases are given in the following table. Table 3-3 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Gas Max. (mg/m3) SO2 0.2 H2S 0.006 NH3 0.05 Cl2 0.01 3.1.3 Requirements on Electrostatic Discharge Prevention Although many antistatic considerations have been given to AR 28 Series, damage to the router’s circuit or even the whole equipment may still happen when the static electricity exceeds the tolerance threshold. In the communication network to which the routers are connected, static induction mainly comes from: z External electric fields such as outdoor high voltage power line or thunder. z Internal environment like flooring materials or the whole equipment structure. Thus, the following should be considered to safeguard the equipment against the ESD: z Make sure that the equipment and the floor are well grounded. z Make sure that dust-proof measures are taken. z Maintain an appropriate humidity and temperature. z Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when contacting the circuit board. z Place the uninstalled circuit board on the antistatic workbench, with its face upward, or put it into the static shielding bag. z When observing or removing the uninstalled circuit board, please touch the edge of the circuit board, and avoid contacting the devices on it. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 3-2 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 3 Installation Preparation 3.1.4 Requirements on Electromagnetic Environment The interference sources, no matter where they come from, affect the routers with capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, radiation of electromagnetic wave, common impedance (including the grounding system) or conducting line (power line, signal line and transmission line etc.). So the following should be considered: z Take effective measures to prevent the power system from being interfered with by the power grid system. z Keep the router far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and high-frequency devices working in high current. z Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. 3.1.5 Requirements on Preventing Lightning Although many measures have been taken to protect AR 28-30/28-31/28-40/28-80 Series from lightning, if the lightning intensity exceeds a certain range, damage to the router may still happen. To protect the router from lightning better, the following should be considered: z Ensure the PGND wire of the chassis is well grounded. z Ensure the ground point of the socket of AC power supply is well grounded. z To enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply, a lightning arrester could be installed at the input end of the power supply. z As for the signal line outdoors to which the interface modules of AR 28 Series routers are connected, such as ISDN line, telephone line, E1/T1 line, etc, a special lightning arrester should be installed at the input end of the signal line to enhance the lightning protection capability. 3.1.6 Requirements on Workbench No matter whether you are to install the router in the cabinet or directly place it on the workbench, it is necessary to ensure that: z There is spacing reserved at the air inlet and outlet in the router so as to facilitate the radiation of the router cabinet. z The cabinet and workbench have good radiation systems. z The cabinet and the workbench are firm enough to support the router and other installation accessories. z The cabinet and workbench are well grounded.

For two devices connected directly, one should operate in DTE mode, and the other should operate in DCE mode. The device at the DCE side provides a synchronous clock and specifies the transmission rate, while the device at the DTE side accepts the synchronous clock and communicates at the specified baud rate. Usually, the router serves as a DTE device. To determine whether the device connected to the router is a DTE or DCE, please refer to the manual that came with the device. Also the following table will be helpful in identifying DTE and DCE. Usually, the PC or Router serves as a DTE device and the Modem, Multiplexer or CSU/DSU serves as a DCE device. In general, the asynchronous serial interface is connected to an external Modem or a Terminal Adapter (TA) to work as the dial-up interface. In this case, it is unnecessary to determine whether the device is DTE or DCE, and just choose an appropriate baud rate. For the operating mode configuration of the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, please refer to VRP3.4 Operation Manual. 2) Synchronous/asynchronous serial interface cable The WAN interface of the router (except for the AR28-12) is a DB-50 receptacle. Proper connection cable needs to be selected for the protocol applied. By far, four types of synchronous/asynchronous serial interface cables are available. At one end of these four types of cables is a DB-50 connector, and at the other end (network end) is a connector that can be one of the following depending on cable type: z V.24 (RS232) DTE cable: DB-25 (male) connector z V.24 (RS232) DCE cable: DB-25 (female) connector z V.35 DTE cable: 34PIN (male) connector z V.35 DCE cable: 34PIN (female) connector The following figures show all these cables. z V.24 (RS232) DTE cable assembly Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-15 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Installation of the Router Figure 4-12 V.24 (RS232) DTE cable z V.24 (RS232) DCE cable Figure 4-13 V.24 (RS232) DCE cable z V.35 DTE cable Figure 4-14 V.35 DTE cable z V.35 DCE cable Figure 4-15 V.35 DCE cable Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-16 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Installation of the Router The synchronous/asynchronous series interfaces on the AR 28-12 use DB-28 connectors, for which the following ten synchronous/asynchronous series interface cables are available: z V.24 (RS232) DTE cable: DB-25 (male) connector z V.24 (RS232) DCE cable: DB-25 (female) connector z V.35 DTE: 34PIN (male) connector z V.35 DCE: 34PIN (female) connector z X.21 DTE: DB-15 (male) connector z X.21 DCE: DB-15 (female) connector z RS449 DTE: DB-37 (male) connector z RS449 DCE: DB-37 (female) connector z RS530 DTE: DB-25 (male) connector z RS530 DCE: DB-25 (female) connector The following figures show these cables. z V.24 DTE cable Figure 4-16 V.24 DTE cable z V.24 DCE cable Figure 4-17 V.24 DCE cable z V.35 DTE cable assembly Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-17 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Installation of the Router Figure 4-18 V.35 DTE cable z V.35 DCE cable assembly Figure 4-19 V.35 DCE cable z X.21 DTE cable Figure 4-20 X.21 DTE cable z X.21 DCE cable Figure 4-21 X.21 DCE cable z RS449 DTE cable Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-18 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Installation of the Router Figure 4-22 RS449 DTE cable z RS449 DCE cable Figure 4-23 RS449 DCE cable z RS530 DTE cable Figure 4-24 RS530 DTE cable z RS530 DCE cable Figure 4-25 RS530 DCE cable Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-19 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Installation of the Router For details about cable connection, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

Step 2: Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram. Step 3: Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, configure the physical operating parameters (e.g., the operating mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, the user also needs to configure DCC parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating parameters according to the WAN type. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 5-6 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 5 Startup and Configuration of the Router Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the division of the subnets. Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user should configure the related operating parameters of the protocol. Step 6: If special security is required, perform the security configuration for the router. Step 7: If special reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router. Please see VRP3.4 Operation Manual for the configuration details of the protocols or functions of the router. 5.2.2 Command Line Interface I. Characteristics of the command line interface The command line interface of Quidway AR 28 Series Routers provides a number of configuration commands, which can be used to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following characteristics: z Performs the local configuration through CON port. z Performs the local or remote configuration through telnet command, which can be used to directly log on and manage other routers. z Users can enter ? anytime to get online help. z Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of the network. z Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults. z The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. If the user enters the conflict-free keyword for a command, the command will be interpreted accordingly. For example, for a display command, the user can just enter dis. II. Command line interface The command line interface of Quidway AR 28 Series routers provides plenty of configuration commands. Hierarchical user protection is adopted to prevent unauthorized users from illegal invading. Each group corresponds to a view (please see VRP3 Operation Manual for details). The user can use these commands to switch between different configuration views. In general, only certain commands can be executed under a particular view. But some common commands (such as ping, display current-configuration, interface) can be executed in all views.

Refer to the subsection “Upgrading the application image through Ethernet” in this section. If you select this option, the following Net Port Download Menu appears: Net Port Download Menu: 1: Change Net Parameter 2: Download From Net 3: Exit to Main Menu Enter your choice(1-3):1 3) Set the type of the application image file to change the type of a boot file or order in which the boot files are selected. The router is available with the dual image function. By default, the system defines and attempts to boot in order with three boot files: main, backup, and secure, provided they Huawei Technologies Proprietary 6-3 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 6 Router Maintenance are available from Flash memory. If the router fails to boot with the secure boot file, it prompts the boot failure. The following table gives default names and types of boot files. Table 6-1 Default names and types of the boot files Boot file File name File type Main boot file main.bin M Backup boot file backup.bin B Secure boot file secure.bin S Note that: z The application images for system boot can be type M, B and S, but not type N/A. You can store them in Flash memory, but only one for each. For example, if an M+B file exists, it is impossible to have another M or B file. If you change the file type of another file to B, the M+B file becomes a type M file. z You can modify the file name of an application image in Flash memory using the command after it boots. z You cannot modify the file type of a type S application image file, but you can modify the file type of type M/B and N/A application image files in the Boot ROM menu or using commands after the application image boots. z Secure boot file is the last resort for system boot. You can download it in the Boot ROM menu and must name it secure.bin. However, you cannot modify this file or change the type of another file to S. If you change the name of the secure boot file with the rename command after the system boots, the file is removed from Flash memory. To use the secure boot file after that, you need to download it again. z The name (including the extension) assigned to a boot file is recommended to be less than 16 characters.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 6-20 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 7.1 Troubleshooting the Power System Symptom: The RUN LED on the PSU is OFF or blinking. Solution: Check that: z The power switch on the router is turned on. z The switch of the power source is turned on. z The power cord is correctly connected. z The power source meets the requirement of the router. Caution: Do not hot swap the power cord. If the POWER LED is still OFF after all these items are checked, contact your agent for help. 7.2 Troubleshooting the Console Terminal If the router passes POST after powered up, the console screen displays the startup banner; if faults occur to the configuration system, the console screen displays nothing or only illegible characters. Symptom 1: After the router is powered on, the console screen displays nothing. Solution: Step 1: Check that: z The power system is normal. z The console cable is correctly connected. Step 2: Check the console cable and the terminal (HyperTerminal for example) settings. Symptom 2: After the router is powered on, the console screen displays illegible characters. Solution: Verify that the terminal settings are as follows: Huawei Technologies Proprietary 7-1 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Baud: 9600 Data bits: 8 Stop bit: 1 Parity: None Flow control: None Terminal emulation: VT100 Reconfigure the parameters if their values are different. 7.3 Troubleshooting SDRAM I. Troubleshooting of “nothing being displayed on the terminal” Symptom: After the POST of the router, despite the normal power system (the POWER LED is ON) and proper connection of the console cable, there is no display on the console terminal. Solution: If the user is sure that the power system and configuration system have no faults, please contact the agent of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. With his consent, open the chassis to check whether the SDRAM has become loose. If that is the case, you may remove and reinstall the SDRAM. For the operation method, please refer to Section 6.2 “Hardware Maintenance” in this manual. II. Troubleshooting of repeated reboot Symptom: z After the information “Now testing memory...” appears, the system restarts repeatedly. Or, z After displaying the information “System now is Starting ...”, the system restarts repeatedly, and sometimes gives a prompt message “Copied program error.” Solution: Generally, such faults are caused by the damage to SDRAM. If the SDRAM is seriously damaged, the problem will be found while testing the memory, and the system will reboot. If the SDRAM is slightly damaged, the problem will be found during the process of system starting, and the system will reboot, giving the prompt message “Copied program error”. Normally, the symptom is present when the SDRAM is damaged. If the damage is serious, the router can find it when testing memory and reboot as the result. If the damage is not serious, the router can find If the SDRAM is damaged, replace it with a new one (before opening the chassis, contact your agent for permission). For the replacing procedure, refer to Section 6.2 “Maintain the Hardware” in this manual. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 7-2 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 7.4 Troubleshooting Application Software Upgrade Symptom: When upgrading the VRP software using the TFTP approach, the system displays the following message: Starting the TFTP download... Then the router reboots automatically. Perform the display version command; then you can see that software verison does not upgrade. Solution: The symptom described above means that the new software version does not load. Do the following: z Check the TFTP server to see whether information can be sent. If not, the problem is likely to result from an incorrectly-configured TFTP server IP address. In this case, make sure that IP address of the TFTP server is the IP address of the network interface on the PC, to which the Ethernet interface is connected. (For the procedure of selecting an Ethernet interface for TFTP upgrade on AR 28 Series Routers, refer to section 6.1.2 IV. “Upgrading the application image through Ethernet.”) To check the IP address of a PC in a Windows environment, do the following: In Windows 95/98/ME environment, perform the winipcfg command. In Windows 2000/XP/2003 environment, perform the ipconfig command. z If Windows prompts IP address conflict, it is very likely that the IP address of the TFTP server was incorrectly assigned to the upgrading Ethernet interface on the Router. z Check the TFTP server. If it prompts a file locating failure, check whether the path set on the TFTP server and the file name (including the extension) of the application software set on the router are correct. Upgrade the application software again after solving the problem. Symptom: When upgrading the VRP software using the TFTP approach, and the system displays the following message: Loading... NET download completed... read len = [05567609] The downloaded software is not a valid version. Please download the correct version. Press <Enter> key when ready. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 7-3 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Quidway AR 28 Series Routers Installation Manual Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Solution: AR 28 Series Routers should be loaded with different application software versions. The problem described above is likely to result from a mismatch between the application software version and the router model. In this case, contact your agent to obtain the correct software version and upgrade it again. If the improper software has been loaded, the Router cannot start or work correctly. In this case, select Xmodem or TFTP mode in the boot menu to restore/upgrade the software version (FTP upgrade mode cannot be used here). If similar symptoms present when upgrading the software with other approaches, solve the problem with reference to this example. Note: The bar code labeled on the Router host and the MIM contains the relevant manufacturing and maintenance information. If you want to repair the device, inform your agent of the bar code on the problem device. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 7-4 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
